he may not be the biggest storyline of the MLB season. Los Angeles Angels’ starting pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani has been reaching heights and accomplishing feats the baseball world hasn’t seen since Babe Ruth. Ohtani, a pitcher, is tied for third in MLB in home runs with 17, fifth in OPS, tied for 12th in stolen bases, and seventh in weighted runs created-plus. I haven’t even gotten into his pitching statistics, but Ohtani’s been pretty good there as well. Sho-Time is posting an ERA of 2.85 through 47.1 innings pitched and striking out 12.93 batters per nine innings.

Per Vegas Insider, Ohtani currently has the best odds to win the American League MVP award, and deGrom has the third best odds to take home the NL MVP. So, hypothetically, if you were building a team, and were offered one of these two superstars… who would you take? Would you opt for the pure pitching dominance and steady growth of Jacob deGrom, or the versatility and heavy bat of Ohtani?
